The Way of the Center

"Anjie, you were traded by the Sacramento Kings." Moslav couldn't believe his eyes. The Kings notified Anjie of this matter through a text message. What is going on!

"Let me see!" Divac didn't believe that his old club would do such a thing. He was abandoned by the Lakers back then and made him almost decide to retire. Divac knows this feeling of being abandoned better than anyone else. . He snatched the phone from Moslav's hand and stared at the screen in disbelief.

"We have reached a preliminary agreement with the Seattle Supersonics. The detailed transaction details still need to be negotiated. Now it is officially notified that Anjie has been included in the transaction list." They don't want Anjie at all. They chose Anjie for the same reason as the Grizzlies chose Love, just as a bargaining chip.

"Damn it!" Divac was furious. Back then, the Kings said a lot of good things. What made Anjie inherit his mantle to help the Kings rebuild their glory, and why he, the man recommended by a hero, the Kings would treat well. fart!

Before the people at the table could react, An Jie's cell phone rang.

"It's the general manager." An Jie glanced at Moslav, who was involved in the transaction as soon as he was selected, and An Jie's mind was completely blank.

"Pick up the phone!" Moslav's tone was very strong.

"Hello."

Before An Jie finished greeting, there was a voice on the other end of the phone. "You already know about that deal." The general manager of the Kings asked bluntly.

"Understood." Anjie replied mechanically.

"Very well, I'm calling to inform you of this. We really don't need you right now, and I hope your NBA career will go well. I still have calls coming in, so I'll hang up first. Beep beep beep..... .”

After An Jie listened to the call, he was disappointed at first, and then became angry.

"We really don't need you." This was the first evaluation An Jie got after he joined the professional basketball team. This sentence was deeply etched in An Jie's heart, and he will never forget it all his life.

"Mr. Moslav." An Jie called his manager's name.

"I will definitely summon the media to strongly condemn the Kings!" Moslav thought that Anjie wanted this.

"No, please help me complete the transaction as soon as possible. I want to go to Seattle." As soon as An Jie finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Ever since Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis left, the Seattle SuperSonics couldn't be any worse. Last season, they even had a total of 20 wins, the worst record in team history, and the team's owner, Ke Negotiations between Ray Bennett and the new arena in Seattle officially broke down. It is an unstable team that may move at any time.

"Now is not the time to be angry! In a place like Seattle, you don't know when the team will disband!" Divac was the first to stand up against Anjie.

"I've already made up my mind, boss." An Jie's tone was very firm.

"According to the draft rules of the NBA, the Kings are not allowed to trade you out within 30 days after signing with you. What the Kings can reach with the Sonics is only a verbal agreement. We have plenty of time to deal with them." Moslav obviously didn't want to see My own clients go to the Sonics to develop. The attention in that place is too small, and there is no market at all.

"I've already decided on Mr. Meslav. I want to play for the Sonics." Anjie also became stubborn at this time. The Kings' approach to him was almost insulting. Do you want him to stick to the Kings' cold ass now? He just wants to prove to the Kings that I, Anjie, have my own value.

Ricard didn't have much say in this aspect, but just like he wanted to prove to those critics who said that the Cyclones were not good, Anjie's temper was really similar to him.

"I support Angie's decision.

" Ricard said suddenly.

"Mr. George Ricard!" Moslav loudly warned Ricard not to confuse his players. Now is not the time to act impulsively. This is an important decision related to Anjie's future!

"Oh, don't get excited, I'm just suggesting, and the decision is not in my hands." Ricard raised his hands.

"An Jie, I think you should listen to Mr. Moslav's professional advice." An Jie's father was not so excited. Only when everyone calmed down and discussed things clearly could they decide what to do next.

"Okay, Mr. Meslav, I want to hear your opinion." An Jie also calmed down, but he still couldn't restrain the anger in his heart when he remembered what the general manager of the Kings said just now.

"First of all, the Seattle SuperSonics are a completely rebuilding team. They chose Russell Westbrook this year when they already had Kevin Durant. The Sonics prefer outside players. Secondly, as Dia said, whether the Sonics will be in Seattle next season is another matter. This team is very unstable now, and economic disputes may arise at any time. It won't do you any good either. The last thing is attention. Although the Kings don't have such a big stage like the Lakers or the Knicks, the fan base of the Kings is much stronger than the Sonics! You tell me, the Sonics The team is comparable to the Kings." When he said the last sentence, Moslav obviously increased his volume.

"But the Kings don't need me to play for them at all! You don't know what he said just now, he said they don't need me!" An Jie finally said the content of the conversation just now. The Kings' refusal made Meslav and Divac instantly speechless.

Everyone was silent for a few minutes, each thinking of different things. Only An Jie's parents were still kept in the dark. An Jie and his parents couldn't understand a word of the English they used to communicate.

"Okay, An Jie, do you really decide to do this?" After a long time, Moslav finally spoke to break the dead silence.

"I've thought it through, Mr. Moslav." An Jie nodded firmly.

"I will hurry up and get in touch with the Seattle SuperSonics. Don't be affected by this matter. You have to keep yourself in good shape through training." Moslav knows that what Anjie can do on the court The key to everything.

"Thank you, I knew I could trust you, Mr. Moslav." An Jie smiled at his manager, and the tense atmosphere was instantly relieved.

After that, everyone turned their attention to the draft, and now it is the second round of the draft. But Mike Taylor still hasn't heard his name.

With the 34th overall pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Mario Chalmers.

With the thirty-fifth pick, the Los Angeles Clippers selected DeAndre Jordan.

Seeing all the familiar opponents being picked away, Mike Taylor felt more and more uneasy. Don't lose the election, this is his only thought now.

With the fifty-second pick, the Miami Heat selected Darnell Jackson, who reminded Angie and Taylor of that loss again.

There are only a few draft picks coming to an end, and Mike Taylor hasn't heard his name yet. He sighed silently. It seems that professional basketball is still too far away from him?

"The fifty-fifth pick, the Portland Trail Blazers chose, Mike Taylor, from Iowa State University." After finishing speaking, Mike Taylor's highlights from last season were immediately released on the big screen. The first picture is a beautiful alley-oop cooperation between him and An Jie.

"Bless you, bro." Morris raised a can of beer to two teammates laughing on TV, and then wiped himself out...

In this regard, Anjie's draft today was completely over. Both Anjie and Mike Taylor were selected, although Anjie was immediately traded out, and Mike Taylor's draft was a bit too low. However, at least both of them took this first step successfully.

Moslav didn't rest. Immediately after the draft, he booked a plane ticket to Seattle, and began to discuss transfer matters for Anjie non-stop. He was a conscientious manager, not to mention that An Jie was the disciple of his old friend.

An imperfect start, but it couldn't stop An Jie's determination to succeed.

The NBA road of a Chinese big man officially sets sail today.
